Ross Chastain's day started from 40th place in a backup car, but he steadily worked his way up through the field, making full use of the 600 mile event. He was 20th by the end of the Stage 1, seventh by the end of Stage 2, fifth by the end of Stage 3, and in Victory Lane after the checkered flag.
"When I left the shop last night, I went over and sat in this car for the first time," said Chastain. "It was about 10 o'clock when I left. They worked until 2:30. They were back at 5:30 this morning. Most of them drive 30, 45 minutes home. A little shower, I think. I don't even know if they slept. Back there at 5:30. They get this thing ready, and that's the dedication it takes from Trackhouse.
